This morning I went out to start my 2006 H3 but couldn’t unlock the doors with the key fob. Tried to use the key to unlock the door, but it wouldn’t turn. Figured the battery was dead, so after work, husband figured out how to open the hood, change the battery, and did so. Key fob now works to the point that when you unlock, lights go on, but doors don’t unlock, press the lock button, inferior lights go out, but no engagement of the locking mechanism. Now before everyone goes ballistic, didn’t find this forum until just now, and found out he thought the door lock might be frozen or something and ended up spraying WD40 on it, which another thread said do not do.....is there a way to get these darn doors open or do I have a very expensive yard ornament in the driveway?

I drove it everyday and home from work the night before. All worked perfectly prior to yesterday morning. It was 24 degrees and in the 30’s today, but expecting about 10” of snow tonight. If we could get the darn door open, lots of options on how to fix it then. I swear I turned off the lights when I got out, honestly don’t remember ever moving the **** from automatic, but when new battery put in, headlights wouldn’t go out when not running......
